According to Archimedes' principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. A 150-lb

m swimmer is floating in nearby pool; 95% of her body's volume is in the water while 5% of her body's volume is above water. Determine the density of the swimmer's body The density of water is 0.036 lbm/in5. Does your answer make sense?? Why why not?

Answer:

The density of the swimmer is 0.0342 lbm/in3.

This value makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Explanation:

If the swimmers is floating, the weight of the swimmer must be equal to the upward buoyant force.

We can express the weight force as the product of density and volume of the swimmer.

Then

\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*V_{water_displaced}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*0.95**V_{swimmer}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*\rho_{water}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*0.036 lbm/in3\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.0342lbm/in3

It makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Answer:

Use the Bromotriflouride catalyst, BF₃

Explanation:

The BF₃ is most likely to yield less desired side products. The effect lies in the reaction mechanism.

BF₃ is a Lewis acid. Its role is to promote the ionization of the HF. This is achieved through the electrophilic mechanism. The reaction mechanism is as follows:

2 - methylpropene + H-F-BF₃ → H-F + H₃C + benzene

butylbenzene + F-BF₃ → tert-butylbenzene + H-F + BF₃ (regenerated catalyst)

A gold nugget has a volume of 20.0 cm3 and its density is 19.3 g/cm3. What is the mass of the gold nugget?
salantis [7]
Density * Volume = Mass

Now we substitute the values in.

19.3 g/cm^3 + 20 cm^3 = 386 g

Mass = 386 g

Which describes a scenario in which the Doppler effect is occurring?
s2008m [1.1K]

The correct answer is option B, that is, the pitch changes from low to high.  

The Doppler shift or the Doppler Effect refers to the variation in the wavelength or frequency of a wave in association with an observer who is traveling comparative to the source of the wave. A prime illustration of Doppler shift is the modification of the pitch heard when a vehicle sounding a horn comes towards and move away from an observer.  

In comparison to the frequency emitted, the obtained frequency is greater at the time of approach, similar at the instant of passing by, and lower at the time of recession.
